Addressing the UN Security Council meeting on Afghanistan’s peace process, he claimed significant progress had been made by the Afghan security and defence forces.
In a statement from his office, Ghani said 98 percent of all counterinsurgency operations across the country were being conducted by the Afghan forces independently.
A comprehensive ceasefire had been demanded by the Afghan government, the Afghan people, the international community and the UN secretary-general, he added.
A ceasefire was not only a critical first . . .
